    George Wyllys, of Fenny Compton, Co. Warwick, came, in 1638, with his family to Hartford, having sent his steward two years before to prepare his residence for him. In 1639 he was an Assistant; in 1641, Deputy Governor; in 1642, Governor of the colony. He was once elected commissioner to the United Congress of the Colonies. He died in Hartford, March 9, 1645. From his will we know that his wife's name was Mary.
